Based on the highly successful design of the offshore Piperacker, the  Pipemaster® Land Piperacker is remotely operated for positive mechanical control of drill pipe and casing. This system incorporates a unique elevator to raise pipe from the horizontal racks to ramp arms where transverse rollers position the pipe longitudinally and indexers control the movement of the pipe to the skate. The Pipemaster® Land Piperacker moves drill pipe and casing semi-automatically from the racking area to and from the rig floor for drilling and "laydown" operations. The system can be housed in an enclosure for work in the arctic, or skid mounted between standard pipe racks and supplied without elevating mechanism for use in less hostile climates.
